Karen Wolfe, MBBS, MA Fee Range: $4,000 - $9,500 Speaker's Home Base: CA When you want the expertise of a medical doctor, as well as a speaker who can take complex information and make it fresh, understandable and fun for consumers, Dr. Karen Wolfe relishes the assignment. She is also totally at home speaking to other healthcare professionals. She cares that her audiences get it, so her presentations often include demonstrations and participation that bring personal meaning to her audience members. Women relate instantly to her warmth, sincerity and sense of humor, as they open up to new ways of seeing and experiencing topics such as body wisdom, the relationship of stress and body fat, or the connection between matters of the heart and the heart muscle itself. Dr. Wolfe finds the mind-body-spirit connection compelling and has been a pioneer in the field of integrative medicine. She is a licensed physician in her homeland Australia. She worked initially as a family physician followed by eight years of experience in the administration of national health care, wellness and senior programs in her role as the Medical Director of the Australian Government Health Service. Her interest in helping her patients become aware of their own healing potential led her to earn a Masters Degree in Psychology. Dr. Wolfe is also a Conscious Body Method coach and trainer and is very committed to the application of coaching for achieving behavioral change in wellness. She is the co-author of, "Create the Body Your Soul Desires: The Friendship Solution to Weight, Energy and Sexuality." She is also the author of "Awaken Your Healer Within: Lessons for Mind/Body Health," and meditation and audio albums on healing and cancer, stress, menopause, and successful aging. Most Popular Topics: Wait! It’s Not About the Weight Are you tired of the diet craziness? Based on her book, Create the Body Your Soul Desires: The Girlfriends’ Guide to Body Image, Weight, Food, Energy and Sexuality, Dr. Wolfe gives women a whole new integrated way to manage their relationship to their bodies and re-claim their power. Dr. Wolfe advocates a female-friendly way to connect and cooperate with our bodies, using commonsense tools that women (especially girlfriends!) can relate to. Free from guilt and blame, discover the soul-stirring joy of a body that helps you life your life to the fullest! Is Stress Making You Fat? – How to Break the Stress-Fat Connection and Reclaim Your Energy It’s a fact: stress makes you fat. Chronically elevated levels of stress hormones not only stimulate appetite but also encourage intra-abdominal fat storage that can lead to serious illness. How you respond to stress determines your appetite, body composition and overall fitness level. Dr Wolfe teaches you how to re-balance your mind and body resulting in lasting changes in your total state of being. What Your Doctor Does Not Know About Nutritional Medicine May be Killing You Physicians are disease-oriented. In 1990 Americans spent $37.7 billion on prescriptions. In 1997 that spending increased to $78.9 billion. Prescription drugs have been the fastest growing portion of health care costs over the past decade. Less than 6 percent of graduating physicians receive any formal training in nutrition. Medical evidence is now showing us that the solution to chronic degenerative disease lies in the nutrition of the cell. This presentation delivers the scientific evidence about insulin resistance and inflammation in the body that creates diabetes, heart disease and many other chronic illnesses. Balancing Work and Life for Optimal Living A recent study of more than 50,000 employees from a variety of manufacturing and service organizations found that two out of every five employees are dissatisfied with the balance between their work and their personal lives. Dr. Wolfe's presentation on work/life balance is designed to help participants make conscious choices to improve all dimensions of their health and well-being: physical, mental, emotional, social, vocational, and spiritual. Participants will see their lives in a different light, open their minds to new ways of thinking, and adapt behaviors that will not only improve their health, but will help them to achieve their personal and professional goals. Trusting Your Gut: Beyond A Woman’s Intuition Did you know that the “gut” is the only organ in the human body that contains an intrinsic nervous system and is often referred to as the “second brain”? Even more importantly, did you know that both brains –the one in our head and the one in our gut-must cooperate in order for you to understand their messages? Learn the latest about a wide range of gut problems such as irritable bowel disease, heart burn and colon cancer, and how you can learn to listen to your body and help heal yourself. Never Too Thin – How to Stop Being At War with Your Body Never before have so many people believed that the shape of their lives was determined by the shape of their bodies Commercialism encourages body worship. Youth rules. Thin rules! Yet this is not the norm nor is it desirable from a health standpoint. Dr Wolfe explains how the compulsion to be thin, far from counteracting weight problems, actually contributes to eating disorders and disordered eating. She shares her Conscious Body Method, a way to bring women back into wholeness and balance and allow them, as the title of her book indicates, to Create the Body Your Soul Desires. Learn to be comfortable, healthy and whole. Contact us for more information! Menopause – Renewal in Midlife The mid-life transition can act like a high speed train taking us to places we have yet to explore. A 1998 Gallop survey presented at the annual meeting of the North American Menopause Society, showed that more than half of American women between the ages of 50 and 65 felt happiest and most fulfilled at this stage of life. Dr. Wolfe will inspire you as she educates, transforms and improves your life through understanding, applying and living the wisdom of menopause. Coming Home to Yourself – Awakening in Midlife “Vocation is the place where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep need.” Quote by Frederick Buechner in Let Your Life Speak by Parker J. Palmer In some cultures, midlife is a time associated with the serious pursuit of a spiritual dimension of life. With our child-rearing years behind us, our creative energies are freed. Taking those firsts steps on your journey “home” to yourself may be one of the hardest things you will ever do. We will discuss the “signposts” along the way and explore true “vocation” and there will be experiential exercises, guided imagery and exploration of purpose and priorities. What Every Woman (and man) Needs to Know About Menopause Hormone Replacement – What’s New, What’s True It’s a joke until it happens to you. Levity can be a coping tool but the truth is, that hot flashes, night sweats, sleep deprivation and other symptoms associated with menopause are serious when you are caught in the crossfire of “the change.” Add to that the flood of media “information”, and confusion reigns. What are the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy? Is it safe and effective? What is the link between HRT and breast cancer and heart disease? What about soy? Dr. Wolfe will empower you to sort through the conflicting information and come away with a plan that’s right for you! Tired of being Tired? – How to Outsmart Female Fatigue Work. Kids. Cooking. Cleaning. Caring for aging parents. No wonder we are exhausted...and it doesn’t have to do with the clock! Mental and emotional stress, in addition to being direct causes of fatigue, can also be indirect causes of your inability to get a full night’s sleep. That is why an estimated 50 percent of American adults are chronically sleep deprived. This presentation teaches you eight energizing strategies for lifelong vitality that will dramatically change your life. Listening to the Female Heart – The Whole Truth About Women and Heart Health It’s more important than ever before for women to listen to their hearts, and learn that body-wise, heart disease in women shows up differently than in men. In addition, there is truly a connection between matters of the heart and the heart muscle. Dr. Wolfe goes into the unique aspects of heart disease in women – understanding, avoiding and surviving it – as well as the emotional and spiritual aspects. She reveals the research that tells us the powerful role family, friends, faith and forgiveness play in our health and healing, and gives us tools for thriving, not just surviving. From Stress to Strength: Options for Optimal Living Stress shows up in expected and unexpected ways. It’s not an option. It just is. It can be good. It can feel difficult. It can be joyful. Learning to help yourself not only cope, but ease through it into joy and balance is the ultimate outcome. Explore the options for relief from stress-related dis-ease, as well as ideas for coping on a day-to-day basis with the stuff of life to avoid stress-related discomfort. Learn how to get in balance in order to prevent the harmful effects that stress can have on your health and all aspects of your life and transform stress into strength. Successful Aging : The Antioxidant Advantage What determines how well we age? How can we maintain optimal physical and mental strength throughout later life? Rather than looking at aging in terms of expected disease and decline, Dr. Wolfe explores the life-affirming role of nutrition, exercise, stress reduction, productive work, self-care and service to others. Alternative Medicine : Hope or Hype? Like trains on two tracks, conventional medicine and alternative medicine appear to be missing a connection. Patients are seeking new treatments to the tune of $18 billion, and they’re not telling their physicians. Dr. Wolfe explains the current research on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, and shows you how to integrate all of our healing choices for optimal health.
